i'm now doing 3x5 til i reach 3x7 and then add weight. how would you approach more reps? would you let something in the tank in the first two sets and then try 7 reps at the last set, and on the next training day try to add more reps at the first two sets. or would you always go to the maximum and then add alwas more reps to the next set. so, at first trying to reach 7 reps at first set, then second set and then third set, so that it's 3x7? is it better to increase or decrease weight in the following sets?

Don't be rigid about it! I'd leave 1 or 2 in the tank on every set, but think on your feet (or on your back in the case of bench!) See how you're feeling as you near the expected reps on your first set--if you feel you still have plenty left go a bit further. If you reach 5 and have some left then do the next one. If you're not sure, leave it. Then on the next set, same approach. Last set, you may want to push a bit harder, but a form-breaking grinder rep should be reserved for PR tests, only done occasionally.

in a month there will be a 2 month winter break from the soccer season. i want to exercise on mon, wed and fri then.

atm i'm doing this routine two times a week with 3x5-7:

squatbenchdeadliftmilitary pressrowschin ups

can i do this routine three times a week? maybe the deadlifting is too much then?i also noticed that i cant improve at chins anymore, since i started deadlifting and changed the order of the exercises so that ich do chin ups directly after rows. before i was doing rows, military, chins. what about deadlifting right after squatting and then maybe only 2x5 or 3x5 or maybe alternating between rows and chins every workout?
